HOW no ELECT THE SENATOR.

HOW no ELECT THE SENATOR.
To The Statesman:
The noted Web Flanagan once asked a
convention of radical office-seekers what
are we here for?" If some member of our
state legislature we're to PROFOUND the
same question, in joint session, there
would be variety of answers, no doubt,
as there are variations of taste, judg
ment, prejudice and principle.
Some would say: "We are here to stick
by the Hon. A., first, last and all the time,
because the Hon. A. always sticks to his
friends, and we are his friends"
others, 1--WE are here to put in the man
who can tap the national treasury most
effectively for the benefit of Texas, and
we think the Hon. B. is that man; we want
our share of the swag and more, if we
can get it." Others, again, would
answer: "The Hon. G. is a man of
high courage, great ability, excellent
character and approved good conduct,
and he must claim preference for the
prize at our bestowal."
1t is pleasant reflection that each and
every one of the qualities ana capacities
claimed for these rivals for our favor may
be good points in the making up of a
senator as senator should be, but it is
proper to consider whether any or all of
them combined would complete, smooth
and round the character we have a right
to demand.
1t is not who can secure the largest APP
preparations from the general Golfers. 1t
is not to crafty a worthy ambition to
requte honorable revice, or record sub
stantial merit; much less to do kindness
to a steadfast friend or honor a barter
ing politician and jobber in offices and
favors.
In the grand council of states
Texas speaks her will by the mouths of
two chosen ambassadors. Grave ques-
tions of national and international
policy, of interstate relations, of federal
powers and individual rights, involving
tine security of our institutions and the
very existence of social order, are the
subjects of debate.
Among these are coinage, currency,
banking standards of value, national de-
lenses, Improvements and subsidies, and
the right of suffrage and representation.
How government in general shall hold
the scales between aggregated capital
and aggregated labor for the best in
terests of both, and, above all, how the
national government shall be made truly
national by imposing its burdens equally,
so that the strong may not be helped nor
the weak hurt by arbitrary abuses of the
power to tax.
The yearning ambition of aspirants is
no concern of the peoples representa-
tives. 1t is for what they can do for the
~
we should propose to set any of them in
high station.
Has Texas in all her borders one citizen
distinguished by the courage, earnestness
and ability with which he has discussed

JAMES r. RANDALL.

A short time ago, one of the editorial
staff of The STATESMAN, through an mad
vertence, wrote the name of James h.
Randall, evidently referring to Samuel j.
Randall. Since that time we have been
greatly diverted by the avidity with which
the small fry of the press have seized
upon this very obvious lapsus penne as
proof of the ignorance of The STATES
MANS staff on the tariff question. Many
has been the editorial that has appeared
in The STATESMAN defining our position
on the tariff question, stating our prin-
ciples and sustaining them by argument,
bringing facts and figures to public at
tention in support of these principles
These facts, figures and ar
guments have never, to our
knowledge, been met by counter
facts, figures and arguments; but have
generally been answered by liberal APP
plication of abusive epithets upon The
STATESMAN. Now, that this "James R,
Randall" slip-up has brought THF

EDUCATIONAL BILL.

The Moore educational bill now before
the committee on education of the house
is one of great Importance, and it is to be
hoped that early action will be taken up
on it, If the bill becomes law it will
add this year half million of dollars to
the fund to be appropriated by the state
for school purposes. This we are pre-
pared to demonstrate will be the result of
the passage of the bill, from the official re-
ports of the department of education.
We will go into detail on the matter in
the next few days.

THE SENATORIAL CONTEST.

From the Dallas News.
Whatever may have been the wisdom
or virtue of the constitutional provision
for the election of United States senators
by the legislatures of the several states,
this method of choice seems to be run
ming pretty wildly to seed over the
whole country. In fact, mlschlevous
practices have grown up around
it with a luxurious vigor which
at present defy reform and plainly
threaten to stife whatever useful purpose
NAV have attended it in the beginning. A
Joint resolution providing for the election
of United States senators by the people Is
on the house calendar at Washington.
There is not the least possibility, however,
of its adoption. Old politicians in both
houses of congress, long accustomed to see
such so called public positions as United
| States senator5hips striven for, intrigued
for, dickered for, fought for as private
stakes, must naturally regard as prepos-
terously impertinent the suggestion that
the people should be invited to take
hand direct in disposing of these select
prizes. Texas has enjoyed comparative
immunity from general infection touch
| ing senatorial elections, but in view of
what is going on at Austin there are
| alarming signs that the infection has
begun to strike deeply into Texas poll
tics. To day is the eighteenth day of the
present session of the Texas Legislature,
and no Legislative. business has been &C.
complished by that body, except to pro-
vide by for its pay and expenses. This is
because the members have been preoccu-
pied by considering the claims, appeals
and solicitations of competitors in
senatorial contest. On the
face of it the contest is
purely personal. No question is raised
and debated as to which of the candidates
may come nearest to being the first choice
of the people. No question is raised and
debated as to which of them stand in the
most acceptable attitude in relation to
some great and paramount political prob
lem. No question is raised and debated
as to whether any one of them
will be best qualified OF
all available persons to serve
his state and the country faithfully and
usefully from a place in the United States
senate. But there is breathless interest in
the question whether this or that break in
| OuO uSdu lOChS Urls VI JldU VI
senatorial problem would best promote the
personal scheme and personal aspirations
of this or that politician, and of that
faction. The dominating spirit makes
no assumption of disinterestedness
and patriotic virtues with commendable
candOr at least scorn to seek q decent dis
guise. So day after day an adjournment is
forced by one or the other clique of soliG
partisans, and the election STAYED off tc
get time for planning and dealing" in be
half of favorite. The game is becoming
monotOnous, not to say disgusting. 1t is
not Texas. Is not the general political
situation, palpitating with volcanic dan
gers and bristling with exigencies that
demand to be met by the highest politics
of craftsmanship, worth nobler spec
tacle and lOftier and more generous
spirit?
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1887-02-03

openly for the people these mighty issues
of the times, sounding the alarm, and
with genius fertile in expedients seek
ing to correct abuses and avert impend-
ing dangers?
Then let Texas consecrate that citizen
to the work he has shown himself the
fittest to perform.
Let the representatives of the people
name him by their votes, and say:
"Texas hath need of thee!'
EARNEST.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1887-02-03

The STATESMAN cannot refrain from
remarking that its pride in its candidate
for the senate, Judge A. W. Terrell, is
every day increasing, as we reflect how
digDifed it was in him, how true to the
peoples interests, how free from egotism
and selfshness to have retired as soon as
it was discerned that he was not the
choice of a majority of the legislature
for the place he sought. Had others
have acted as periodically as he the un.
seemly contest tor personal promotion
would have long since ended, and the
peoples Legislative work have been re-
sumed.
